The Louisiana Purchase was the acquisition of the Louisiana Territory by the United States from France in 1803.

In 1800, Napoleon wished to re-establish an empire in North America, however, the renewed warfare with the United Kingdom incited Napoleon to sell the territory to the U.S.

This purchase faced federalists party opposition, who argued that it was unconstitutional to acquire any territory.
